Arizona Cardinals: 5 Things They Must Do This Offseason

We have heard it a countless number of times... the Arizona Cardinals wasted a miraculous 4-0 start and are sliding closer to the basement with each passing week.

Arizona lost to the Atlanta Falcons this past week, pushing their losing streak to six games. Very few expected them to win this game, but the loss hurts considering they held a 13-point lead early on.

The Cardinals were never supposed to win games against teams like Minnesota, Green Bay and Atlanta, but they were given the opportunity to do so and could not take advantage.

We have witnessed poor play and very questionable decisions over the past few weeks. The one positive from this losing streak is that they know what they have to improve on going forward.

There is not much Arizona can do at this point. At 4-6 they should be looking ahead to 2013.

Highlighted over the next few slides are five things the Cardinals must do this offseason.

Dump Early Doucet

The Arizona Cardinals are stacked at the wide receiver position. Larry Fitzgerald is one of the best in the game, Andre Roberts is having a breakout year and Michael Floyd has looked solid so far.

In addition to these three, LaRon Byrd was impressive in the preseason and Rob Housler is really starting to get settled in.

There is a ton of talent on the offense, leaving no room for a player like Early Doucet. He has done a great job of dropping passes and taking away reps from Floyd this season.

Doucet had a strong start to the 2011 season, but since then he has been a cancer to this team. He has a poor attitude and has hurt the Cardinals dearly with numerous miscues going back to last season.
